CRDCN National Policy Challenge
This event stands as a platform that emphasizes a specific challenge faced by emerging researchers: employing microdata to delve into the intricacies of a chosen policy quandary, subsequently showcasing their findings to both their peers and a panel of esteemed researchers and policy shapers.
The underlying challenge revolves around empowering these budding scholars to harness microdata for a deeper exploration of policy issues. This endeavour underlines the CRDCN's commitment to nurturing the growth of research capabilities. The subjects explored by our finalists traverse a spectrum of policy realms, spanning from immigration to healthcare, capturing the diversity of policy dilemmas under scrutiny.
Within this context, the victor of this year's challenge, Angèle Lucie Poirier, seized the opportunity to delve into the motivating forces driving recreational cannabis consumption in Canada, offering valuable insights into this noteworthy societal issue.
Discover the heart of the challenge through the array of presentations featured on the CRDCN YouTube channel from the June 2022 National Policy Challenge.
